mukhde pe gesu aa gaye aadhe idhar aadhe udhar
aadhe idhar aadhe udhar chanda pe badal cha gaye
aadhe idhar aadhe udhar aadhe idhar aadhe udhar

aaj humne rup dekha chandani ke besh me
aaj humne rup dekha chandani ke besh me
ek pardeshi bechara lut gaya pardesh me
ek pardeshi bechara lut gaya pardesh me
dil ke dusman aa gaye aadhe idhar aadhe udhar
aadhe idhar aadhe udhar mukhde pe gesu aa gaye
aadhe idhar aadhe udhar aadhe idhar aadhe udhar

tujhko malik ne banaya khas apne hath se
tujhko malik ne banaya khas apne hath se
subah se mukhda banaya or julfe rat se
subah se mukhda banaya or julfe rat se
phul khilkar aa gaye aadhe idhar aadhe udhar
aadhe idhar aadhe udhar mukhde pe gesu aa gaye
aadhe idhar aadhe udhar aadhe idhar aadhe udhar

le gayi dil le gayi teri najar ki sokhiya
le gayi dil le gayi teri najar ki sokhiya
aa meri aankho me padh me aarzu ki dasta
aa meri aankho me padh me aarzu ki dasta
dil ke arman aa gaye aadhe idhar aadhe udhar
aadhe idhar aadhe udhar mukhde pe gesu aa gaye
aadhe idhar aadhe udhar aadhe idhar aadhe udhar
mukhde pe gesu aa gaye

Across the face, tresses cascade,
Half to this side, the other half swayed.
Half to this side, the other half swayed,
Clouds across the moon, a shadowed parade.
Half to this side, the other half swayed,
Half to this side, the other half swayed.

Today, your beauty, in moonlit guise,
Today, your beauty, before my eyes.
A stranger lost, in a foreign land's cries,
A stranger lost, beneath alien skies.
Enemies of the heart, half to this side,
Half to this side, the other half ride.
Across the face, tresses cascade,
Half to this side, the other half swayed.
Half to this side, the other half swayed.

The Maker fashioned you, with loving hand,
The Maker fashioned you, across the land.
The face crafted in the dawn's command,
And tresses spun from the night's dark sand.
Blooms unfurl, half to this side,
Half to this side, the other half ride.
Across the face, tresses cascade,
Half to this side, the other half swayed.
Half to this side, the other half swayed.

My heart you stole, your gaze's bright art,
My heart you stole, and tore it apart.
Come, read my eyes, where longings impart,
Come, read my eyes, where longing restart.
Desires of the heart, half to this side,
Half to this side, the other half ride.
Across the face, tresses cascade,
Half to this side, the other half swayed.
Half to this side, the other half swayed.
Across the face, tresses cascade.
